Waiting For The Light Novels & Stories

That night, Matthew sat on the kitchen floor until morning. It was the first time he had ever looked so defeated. In the past, no matter how late he came home, there was always a light waiting for him. There was always someone sitting on the couch, quietly waiting for him. That was all gone. The big house felt empty, and he was the only one left waiting for daylight. The next morning, Matthew did not bother to change his clothes. He went straight to the office.

“Cadon, we’re flying over San Francisco right now. We’ll be in Alcatraz in about ten minutes.” “Ten minutes?” Cadon repeated. He’d hoped he’d have more time than that. “All right.” He took a deep breath and let everyone else know they’d be at their destination momentarily. A few of the other LIGHTS team members also seemed surprised, but Cadon told them it wasn’t something he had control over, and they’d make it work.

He only waited, patient and silent, his thumbs brushing over the backs of my hands. I took one breath. Then I stepped across the line with him. Nothing dramatic happened. The lights did not flare. The world did not rearrange itself. The past did not vanish. But Sebastian pulled me into his arms the moment both my feet crossed, and I realized maybe that was enough. “I’m here,” I whispered against his chest. His arms closed around me. The final arena lights shut off one by one until only the green glow of the emergency exit signs remained at the far end of the rink.

"Give me a sign. Fight back. Just give me a light to follow." The monitors hummed in response, a wall of static and blue light, offering no answers. Only the silence of the hunt. --------------------------------------------------

The beaming light from the restaurants was enough to make you calm as the bulbs kept blinking the rainbow colors ROYGBIV, and soft music in the background. The waiter came dressed in black trousers with a white shirt and black shoes. I told him I would be waiting for someone, and once the person comes, I will order. I kept staring at my phone as if a miracle would happen. My home blinked indicating a message from Phil. I smiled as I looked at it. He will be here in the next 10 minutes. I busied myself going through my W******p messages with Chris who told me to calm down and converse as if he never told me the true identity of Phil.

I pound my hand on the steering wheel, impatiently waiting for the light to change. "Hey," Susan says, placing her hand on my thigh. "We'll make it. She'll be fine." "If the fucking light ever changes!" I yell. "We're only a couple of blocks away," Susan says, as the light turns green. "Come on!" I yell at the SUV crawling across the intersection. Finally, I see the Stetzen on the right.

The conversation didn’t really last, it seemed as though the call was just to invite her over, an invitation so they would be able to talk better later. At eight o'clock, the night sky beamed with soft indigo. The city lights below were still blinking like stars that were not completely asleep, not completely asleep but rather restless. Dressed in a coat, Serena with a pale face, lightened by the streetlamps. She waited, near her home.

The trees are so close to each other that it’s impossible to see what’s inside…I wonder if even light gets to pass through the trees or not. Perhaps, that’s why it’s called the dark forest. I shiver and see the time on the watch I am wearing on my wrist. It’s exactly four in the evening and if Cain doesn’t come back by five, I will go look for him no matter what happens. That’s how my wait begins. I wait there, each minute feeling like an hour to me. They say time stops when you are waiting for someone and I am feeling this for the first time in my life.

For five years, I had stood by my girlfriend as she worked her way from a tiny street stall to a successful chain of stores. Three times, I waited for her to finally give me a home. The first time, she bought a one-bedroom apartment. I packed my bags, ready to move in, only for her to hand the keys to her childhood friend, who had just gone through a divorce. "He's raising his daughter on his own. It isn't safe for them to live somewhere else," she told me. "Just stay with me in the basement for a few more months." The second time, she bought a two-bedroom apartment. I had already bought new sheets and gotten everything ready. Then, by some twist of fate, her childhood friend's apartmen

Andrew, Daniel, Alex and even Lisa is also present at the party. "When they came Mr Alex?" Lisa asked. "Sorry, miss Green, I don't know about that. Maybe they are on the way", Alex replied. Suddenly they all hear the sound of the car and immediately understood. They all went to switch off the lights to gives surprise to Emily. When Emily and Ryan get off from the car they saw all the mansion lights are off. "Ryan is there is a light cut in this area, why there is no light in the home?" Emily asked cutely.
